Normally I set the EPA to 100% when mapping the throttle range in the ESC.
Would I get higher throttle resolution if I map the 120% my radio supports to the ESC's full throttle range ?
(whether the increase in resolution would actually be noticeable is a different matter )
Yes, and maybe. There will be a higher number of counts inside the microprocessor for the input pulse width change from neutral to full throttle. But that may not result in higher resolution of the PWM drive to the motor, as the PWM might have less resolution than that used for the input pulse measurement.
